In defence of public history: IHC supports IFPH statement
Apr 9, 2025 | News

The IHC fully endorses the statement published by the International Federation for Public History, where it is represented on the
Steering Committee by Joana Dias Pereira, which strongly condemns ‘ the banning of books, the censorship of historical narratives, the surveillance of students and educators, attacks on memory sites, and the imposition of ideological agendas—particularly right-wing distortions—which are not only dangerous but fundamentally undermine the very principles that public history upholds’.
